<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BenSi, post: 3166961, member: 95174&quot;]Its true the Eastern Roman coins don’t capture people’s imaginations unlike the western Roman coins, in fact most Eastern Roman collectors like myself started with Roman Imperial coins. Many of us also believe the Roman Empire did not fall until 1453 when the Turks took its last capital. Its hard to believe a race that called themselves the Romans last for almost 1500 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got into Eastern Roman (Byzantine) coins because I liked the adventure of going into a barren field, we only have a few historians who focus on the coins for that time period.&nbsp; However these days the few collectors of Eastern Roman (Byzantine) coins prefer the large early issues of Justinian Follis , Anonymous follis of the 10th century and of course the beautiful abstract coins of the last rulers of Rome the Palaiologos dynasty.&nbsp; The other ones will eventually gain in popularity.</p><p><br /></p><p>I enjoyed sharing and participating in this competition. Thanks for the votes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
